The movie depicts a recently divorced woman starting on a journey of self discovery across the great American continent. She does that with elan with all the survival kit saved in her backpack and strategically learning how to manage it better in the course of time. However you do not need to worry for that same ordeal. This article is likely to throw some light on your much coveted adventure trip with a bit of thoughtful planning.
